Mike Beard

I spent the first 18 years of my life in Toronto and then moved to Pembroke, which is where I started in radio at CHOV, and then to Ottawa in 1977 to work for CKBY and I’ve been in this area ever since. I’ve had the chance to interview some of the best over the years and I’ve also taught part-time at Algonquin College in media studies.

Favourite Food: ….Italian, Pub Food, fries from a truck and I really like a good Club Sandwhich.

Favourite activities: Reading is a favorite activity along with listening to music, playing drums and the odd round of golf as well. I also like travelling. Vegas is a favorite location.

Favourite Artists: Willie and Waylon, Cash, Buddy Rich and Glenn Miller, and the Beatles are all my phone.

Favourite Movie: The Godfather series I could watch a million times and I have. Pacino is great. I’ll watch any movie with Al Pacino in it. I also like the old black and white classics like Casablanca.
